Lawrence O'Donnell is the guy who wrote on The west wing..i like'd that show thats why i m posting what he said.
THR: So you have no objection when conservatives call President Obama a socialist?
O'Donnell: No. But if they're honest about it, they would call themselves socialist, too. Newt Gingrich preserved the socialist state. He never once introduced a bill to repeal Medicare.
THR: Would you object if a Republican introduced such a bill?
O'Donnell: No, because I think it's an honest position. I hope Rand Paul does if he becomes a senator. There are people who honestly hold themselves in opposition to socialism. But there isn't a single one in the U.S. Congress who does.
